The Nigerian Bar Association has cried out that executive arms of government, both at the federal and state levels, have sustained their attacks on the judiciary all in a bid to get judges to do their biddings and skew justice in their favour.
President of the Nigerian Bar Association , Paul Usoro, SAN, speaking at the body’s National Executive Committee meeting in Abuja on Thursday, expressed worry over the intimidation of judges by members of the executive arms and their agencies, stressing that judges now “operate under an oppressive and pervasive climate of fear and insecurity.”
Perhaps an inevitable price to pay for anti corruption drive.
Before now, from the lowest to the highest cadre, many of them have operated under the oppressive atmosphere of corruption, judgment buying - much against the wishes of the poor majority, and the will of God for humanity.
Very true, very.
Not many in the auditorium if any will doubt that major challenges to our democracy are the judges and the lawyers. Reckless injunctions, waste of time, bribing judges, professional misconduct by judges just to mention a few.
Bcos NBA chairman has court case. Any judge that has no skeleton hides somewhere or judge that worth putting on d gown/wigs can’t b intimidated bcos u must practice what u preach. No one is above d law.
Ask your president.. He's the leader of them all...
A corrupt nation we're in ......until we come to a mutual Democratic agreement.
